Beware the Bayview quote that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition.
Flashings at the chimney on an older Bayview house as a rule need attention well ahead of the covering does. This holds across San Francisco County. Most Bayview roof coverings that give out early let go at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. This holds across San Francisco County. Trimming back branches over a Bayview roof removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life.
